Afterwards, Abner had almost never seen the dishes served, and he had to cook every dish himself.One of the dishes is like a huge turtle shell with dense scutellums, which need to be pried apart one by one. When the scutellums fall down, there will be a sizzling sound, and finally something like fish fillets will be exposed.

Abner was already full, but these never-before-seen foods kept giving him a sense of novelty, stimulating him to persevere until the end.

Meanwhile, he thought Newt would say something, but he kept his head buried in his meal, glancing at the door now and then.Until the waiter took away the last plate of food, there were almost no other people in the restaurant, and the people in the kitchen had already started preparing the evening tea.

Newt finally squirmed uncomfortably.

"Sir... If possible, I would like to take the two of you for a stroll. You are from a distant spirit beast clan, so you may not be familiar with this place..." Newt said.

"No, thank you for your hospitality." Oreas refused and stood up.

"Sir!" Newt stood up suddenly, and said awkwardly, "S-sit for a while, and leave later..."

Abner glanced at Aureas.

Oreas said quietly: "What are you waiting for? Waiting for Christo?"

Newt's face sank, and he said, "Sir, what are you talking about!"

Oreas took out a small blue bottle, the liquid inside was mixed with bits and pieces, "Is Christo looking for this?"

Newt opened his mouth wide, his face pale.

Oreas snorted, took back the bottle, and said, "Let's go, tell Christo not to look for it."

But Newt was still sitting on the chair in a daze, as if he hadn't reacted yet.

Aureas put a rose coin on the stone table at the counter, and then left.

Abner looked back at Newt, who was still sitting on the chair, looking lost.

"What's in that bottle?" Abner asked.

Oreas replied: "This is something used to preserve corpses. It is called 'Dead Soul Soup'. Just one drop can preserve corpses for a long time. However, this is a forbidden substance, and it is only found in dead caves."

Abner was startled, "Then how could it be..."

"It was found in the room we were staying in."

Abner shuddered, "You wouldn't think there was..."

Oreas rubbed his head, and said: "I checked, and there is no corpse, but I suspect that there are corpses hidden in other places in the hotel. I felt the breath of the undead last night."

"When the spirit envoy came, why didn't you tell him?"

"Do you think it is difficult for someone who can get the dead soul soup to hide a corpse?"

Abner swallowed his saliva, nodded, thought for a while, and said, "It's better not to scare the snake away. In this way... Christo is indeed full of doubts. She was unwilling to put that room in the first place Let it out, there is obviously no one living on that floor, and she is always cleaning there, probably to find out our whereabouts... But why is there such a thing, and it is still left in the guest room..."

Abner trembled, grabbed Oreas tightly, and said, "I thought of some bad things..."

He felt his stomach churning, hurried back, his face was pale, and said, "She must make it clear."

Abner was walking in a hurry when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him. Abner turned his head and saw that it was Newt. Newt rushed towards them in a panic and shouted: "Gentlemen, please, please!" Please..."

Abner looked at him indifferently.

Newt rubbed his red nose, his face twisted into a ball, "Sir... please, just let that kid sleep peacefully..."

"Christopher?" Abner asked.

Newt didn't answer directly, and continued: "This child is too miserable, living a life of worry and fear every day..."

Abner became impatient, "Are you talking about Christophe?"

Newt still didn't answer. With trembling hands, he reached into his pocket, took out a piece of paper, and said, "I'll show you something, so you'll know."

Newt slowly opened the paper, Abner stepped forward, suddenly Newt grabbed Abner's arm, and then pulled it in front of him, and then put a short knife on Abner's neck.

"Stay away!" Newt yelled.

Abner was tightly circled by Newt, and he couldn't break free no matter what.

"Damn it!" he swore.

Aureas looked at Newt coldly and clenched his fists.

"No, don't go back!" Newt yelled.

Aureas walked towards him, Newt clasped his hands hastily, "Don't come! If you come again, I'll kill him!"

Abner frowned and looked at Orreas, and Orreas said to Abner in the language of the four countries: "Don't worry, he can't hurt you."

"What are you talking about!" Newt yelled.

Suddenly Abner felt a gust of wind passing by, and then his body lightened. When he realized it, he was sitting on Aureas's arm like a child, and Aureas lifted him up high, gently Caressing his neck, said gently: "It's all right."

Abner's face turned red instantly, and he kicked his long legs wildly, "Put me down, I'm already this big!"

Orreas put him down.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Abner was relieved by a sudden low cry. He widened his eyes and saw Newt huddled in a corner with his hair and clothes in a mess. The bloody mouth is dripping blood continuously.

Abner saw that Oreas was holding Newt's dagger in his hand, and there was still blood on the dagger, which should have been stabbed back when he took it away in the confusion.

Abner took the dagger and said coldly to Newt, "Look up!"

Newt raised his head in a daze, his pupils dilated suddenly, a gleaming sharp knife grazed his face, and pierced straight into the wall behind him, his breathing was stagnant, and he stared at the two in horror.

"I hate it when someone threatens my neck!"

Abner said, turned around and left.

Suddenly there was a mournful cry from behind, and Abner turned around irritably, his eyes widened, and seeing Newt put the knife on his neck, he cried bitterly: "Anyway, I don't have anything to worry about as an old man, why not..."

"Damn, are you annoying!" Abner yelled, interrupting his words. Newt's hands shook after being yelled at, and a small gash was drawn on his neck. He hissed and took the knife It opened, and then put it back on the neck embarrassingly.

Abner glanced at him, "Does it hurt?"

Newt froze.

Abner clasped his arms and shouted: "If it hurts you, just put it down. It's really inexplicable. I don't know you at all. You seem to know me very well. You kept complaining, but you even threatened with a knife. Just don't tell me why, I'm not your rag!"

Newt looked blank.

Abner twitched the corners of his mouth, and Aurelias was about to leave when Newt finally spoke: "Because Kristal was born of a blue-and-yellow couple, she was rejected by many people since she was a child."

Abner paused, and Newt continued: "She was gossiped by others outside, and she couldn't sleep well at home. Her parents often quarreled. The poor child often couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, and was often called As an object of anger. I often protect her, but she still wants to go home after crying enough. After the hotel fire, she trembled and said to me that she was too scared to live there, begging me to live there... ..."

"Afraid of what?" Abner asked.

"I don't know, maybe the fire scared the kid."

"Don't you know that Beverly's partner hasn't come back for a long time? You lived there for a long time, didn't you fuel the rumors?"

Newt was silent for a while, and said, "Because...Kristo said she wanted me to be her father, I know it's impossible, but...I'm Beverly's soul mate, I..."

"What's the matter with 'dead soul soup'?" Aureas interrupted.

Newt faltered, "I, I don't know what's going on... Christo asked me to help distract you and find this..."

Abner frowned, Newt's expression was very unnatural, apparently covering up something.

"Since you love this mother and daughter so much, don't you worry why she is looking for 'Dead Soul Soup'?" Abner asked.

"I don't know..." Newt said, and then covered his face with his hands, squatted down and cried bitterly, the blood stains on his hands looked very pitiful on his face.

Abner shut up, he really couldn't stand it anymore, and Newt probably couldn't force him to ask anything. He stretched out his hand to Oreas and said, "Lend me some money."

Oreas raised his eyebrows, and put the money bag in his hand. He weighed it heavily, so he poked Oreas' arm and said, "Rich man, I will rely on you during this time." Raise."

Oreas rubbed his head and said, "Okay."

Abner happily opened the money bag, and fished out a handful of coins, all of which were of relatively high value. He pondered the price of the ointment used to treat wounds in Silverbow City, and then picked out two copper shells and walked to Newt. He grabbed his hand, stuffed the money into his hand, and said coldly: "Go and buy some ointment."

Newt stared blankly at the money, Abner put away the money bag, put it back in Oreas' hands, and said, "Let's go."

Oreas put the money bag in Abner's hand and said, "You keep it."

Abner clicked his lips, and solemnly put the money bag back into Aureas's robe, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely ask you for whatever I want to buy, I won't wrong myself hahaha."

Oreas rubbed his head.

When the two rushed back to "Wild Mountain Lotus", the sun was not so strong. There were a few tables and chairs outside the hotel, and some people were having evening tea.Abner tiptoed into the door, poked his head out, and took a look first. Several young boys in the hall were busy cleaning up the tables and chairs, probably preparing for the dance, and did not see Christo.

The two avoided the crowd and walked straight to the underground room. The corridor was quiet, and their room was concealed.Abner slowly pushed the door open, and he saw Christo busy searching through the gap.

Abner and Oreas exchanged glances, and then slowly opened the door. Christo turned her back to them and didn't notice.

Abner stared at her back for a while, and said, "Are you busy?"

Chris shuddered and turned around in astonishment.

Abner walked in, sat down carelessly, and said, "Did you find what you were looking for?"

Christo stared at him in horror.

Abner took out the dead soul soup and put it on the table, "I'm here for what you're looking for, don't bother, pack up my clothes quickly, you girl, take my 'Youri Zhi What does the soft thing of brilliance and moonlight' do?"

Kristo threw the ittert in her hand in embarrassment.

Abner: "..."

He suddenly felt a chill on his back, quickly coughed twice, and said in a serious voice: "Christopher, should you explain why you have such a thing?"

Christo was silent for a long time without speaking.

Abner frowned. There was a noisy sound of tables and chairs moving upstairs, disturbing him, "You'd better say it earlier, I don't have much time to talk to you."

"I don't know what you're talking about. I was just cleaning. Look, there's my rag."

He glanced at the rag on the window sill and said, "How did it get in my package?"

Christo still didn't speak, her expression was extremely indifferent, as if this could get rid of Abner's suspicion.

Abner took a deep breath and said, "Okay, then let me tell you, a person died here once."

Christo clenched her hand on the long skirt for an instant.
